------------------------ END OF REPLIED MESSAGE ------------------------
you have asked for help and I have now written several times but gotten
no answer. Also I have tried to subscribe to <bash-completion-devel>
but it seems, it does not work for me.
Do I need special permissions to subscribe?
Please CC me in any replys...
OK, however, I like to know, which help you need, since I have found
tonns of reassignments from bash->bash-completion where many of them
sounds a little bit weird, since in the describtion it is written.
----[ command 'pkg_desc bash-completion' ]------------------------------
Description: programmable completion for the bash shell
bash completion extends bashs standard completion behavior to achieve
complex command lines with just a few keystrokes. This project was
conceived to produce programmable completion routines for the most
common Linux/UNIX commands, reducing the amount of typing sysadmins
and programmers need to do on a daily basis.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
I mean exactly THE SENTENCE "most common Linux/UNIX commands" since the
following bugreports should be reassigned to the appropriated packages
since they are NOT "most common commands".
Note 1: For any of my own packages which has executables I have an
appropriated bash_completion file and instead forcing users to
load a several 100 kByte large singel bash_completion file, I
would go for the /etc/bash_completion.d/ directory OR if it can
produce a to high IO a "postinst" script which then merge the
files from there into a singel one. If requested, I am willing
to develop the script and of course, a "dh_bash-completion"
command...
Note 2: I have had already written a small (X)dialog tool which let user
choose between a full ~/.bash_completion file or a small one
with user selectable items...
The package was called "tdbash" but is gone and has to be
redevelop since I have lost in 2007-12-09 all of my 26 Servers
workstations in a heavy cvervoltage...
